Looking for a good foot pedal controller

I've been throwing around the idea of incorporating a midi foot pedal controller with Ableton and was hoping someone out there has a recommendation. I'm picturing multiple assignable buttons to launch scenes, clips, scroll through scenes, track (clip) stop. I suppose if it had an expression-like variable pedal I could use it for effects or tempo so that would be a bonus. If it is not designed with Ableon in mind I'm wondering how practical and/or useful it would be to use. This is simply for singing with friends probably where I can flip between verse, chorus etc to have some variable accompaniment but it would be cool to capture ideas with a guitar or vocal as well in other projects. I don't need it fancy per se but maybe that's the only way to get the features.

I had tried using both a volume pedal.. if you were good you could get 3 chains worth of changes all off , all on, middle of pedal. i used the large heavy yamaha ones. or you can get a midi pedal and trigger a cc.
